Monterey Real Estate

Northern California has some of the most breathtaking ocean shores and the Monterey Peninsula claims one of the most dramatic Pacific coastlines in California. From the peaceful Carmel Bay to jagged rocks along Ocean View Boulevard, the juxtaposition of untamed tranquility is one of Monterey's most striking features.

Owning a piece of Monterey real estate is a particular pleasure few can understand. The beauty is everywhere you look. It has inspired artists of every medium to come and create. A home in the Monterey region immerses you in the culture of California's heritage as well as the many “firsts” that have happened on the Monterey Peninsula. California's first theater, newspaper, printing press, public school and public library are only a few of the “firsts” of the region.

If you are a golf aficionado, you can hardly do better than the famous golf courses of Pebble Beach. Watch the pros practice at the 19th hole as you relax after your own eighteen. The spas and shopping make it worth the gorgeous drive even if you do not play golf at all.

There is never a Dull Day in Monterey. Living on the peninsula is a luxury. Monterey homes barely decreased in value in one of the worst housing crises to hit the nation. With so much to engage the residents - the casual opulence of the Pacific combined with the gourmet restaurants, shopping, sailing, biking, whale-watching, driving, hiking - it is easy to understand why so many want to stay in Monterey. We invite you to come see what Monterey has to offer you as a resident and let Sotheby's International Realty be your guide.
